ONLYOFFICE

Teams that edit documents together, and developers who want an editor inside their own product, are the two groups ONLYOFFICE is built around. It is a collaborative office suite with editors for text documents, spreadsheets and presentations that are compatible with Microsoft file formats, and it is offered either as a hosted cloud service or as an installation on a company's own servers.

ONLYOFFICE Docs

Docs is the editor suite. It handles documents, sheets, slides and fillable PDF forms, and can read, edit and convert PDFs and export to formats such as Markdown and HTML. Collaboration features include co-editing at character and paragraph level, review with tracked changes, comments and mentions, and chat. Audio and video calls can run through Jitsi or Rainbow.

DocSpace and Workspace

DocSpace provides customisable rooms where people collaborate on documents, while Workspace is a business platform for managing team activities with projects, CRM, a calendar and mail. Both can be used in the cloud or installed on-premises.

Editors inside other platforms

Ready-made connectors tie the editors into other platforms, among them WordPress, Nextcloud, Moodle, Odoo and Box. Docs Developer is aimed at companies integrating the editors into their own web platform and comes with a conversion API, a Document Builder and API documentation.

AI assistants

The suite includes assistants that generate documents, sheets, slides and forms, translate and rewrite text, check spelling and grammar, and extract text from scanned PDFs. The company says any AI model, including one running locally, can be connected, with different models assigned to different tasks.

Security and openness

ONLYOFFICE, from the company Ascensio System SIA, says data is encrypted when stored, while moving and from one end to the other. The source code of Docs Community is published on GitHub, and free desktop apps for Windows, Linux and macOS and mobile apps for iOS and Android connect to the cloud. The company reports more than 21 million users and sells through authorised resellers, hosting providers and technology partners.
